As we head into the year’s colder months, ensuring that your home’s foundation is safe and secure is more important than ever. Moisture and freezing temperatures can affect your foundation. One symptom of foundation failure is bowing or leaning walls. Excessive moisture in the soil leads to bowing walls. This is caused by pressure coming from the exterior soils surrounding your foundation. When water freezes, it expands, causing additional pressure. Airlift Foundation Repair provides the necessary services to repair your bowing and leaning walls.
In short, if your home has bowed walls, Airlift Concrete Experts can repair them using helical tieback anchors. Use this foundation repair method to alleviate hydrostatic pressure around foundation walls. Helical anchors are installed in the ground around the foundation with a plate inside the wall. The wall anchors pull the wall back into shape and add support to the structure. Bowing walls indicate a problem with your foundation’s structural integrity. Getting an inspection at the first sign of a bowing or leaning wall is very important to maintaining the safety of your home. The concrete experts at Airlift can inspect your foundation and determine if helical tiebacks are the right solution for your foundation repair needs.
Therefore, as a homeowner, your foundation is integral to the health of your home. Taking the time to scan your interior and exterior foundation is an excellent practice to get into. Bowing and leaning walls can start small and grow over time. By regularly checking, you can spot evidence of a problem and contact a professional at the first sign of a problem. So, if you have concerns, getting an inspection can stop a more minor problem from becoming more prominent.
